The Mazer Phonograph Co., Detroit, MI

Post by JerryVan »

Anyone ever heard of them?
I bought this on eBay a few days ago. One those, "now why did I do that?" moments :?

A quick internet search only brings up the Mazer Cigar Co. of Detroit. Maybe a sideline??

You are good! No, I hadn't seen those yet. Thanks!!

I would do a Google street search for 45 Michigan Ave., however, all Detroit addresses were renumbered in 1921, making such things difficult today. I think that address is now a park, near Detroit's famous Lafayette Coney Island, home of the coney dog... so they say.
